It is troggle getting the parsing wrong (comments are allowed on the
end of any line) The troggle parser does not implement all the things
that can be in a valid survex file by a large margin. Over the years
we have fixed enough of the things that it can read our dataset.

Fix the parser.

Probably because they are not connected or have been superceded. (but
I've not checked). Include them, proces the file and see what the
complaint is?
